“... here’s my pitch. Are you in the mood for a comedy? Monica, O My Darling has you covered. Are you in the mood for seduction, blackmail, murder, and intrigue? Monica, O My Darling has you covered. Do you have two hours to kill and nothing else to do? You guessed it, Monica, O My Darling has you covered.”

It’s a wrap! Alia Bhatt concludes Jigra shoot; shares candid photos featuring co-star Vedang Raina

Alia Bhatt has officially wrapped filming for her upcoming movie Jigra, directed by the acclaimed Vasan Bala.

Alia Bhatt finally wrapped the shoot for her highly anticipated film Jigra, directed by the acclaimed Vasan Bala. The actress took to social media today, sharing a series of heartwarming pictures with her co-star Vedang Raina to mark the occasion.

In the caption, she wrote, "jigra oh… abki teri baari ho @vedangraina & that's a film wrap on #JIGRA  @vasanbala @swapsagram See you soon… 27th September 2024 at a cinema near you."

The pictures showcase Alia and Vedang sharing candid moments on set, radiating pure joy and camaraderie. Their infectious energy has fans eagerly anticipating the film's release.

In a note, Alia had written, “From debuting in a Dharma production to now producing a film with them, in many ways, it feels like coming full circle from where I started. Every day is a different day… exciting, challenging (and a little scary)… not just as an actor but also as a producer as we bring this film to life, and I CANNOT wait to share more as we move forward.” The film, slated for a theatrical release on September 27, 2024, has already garnered immense excitement.

Alia Bhatt on Motherhood: Letting Raha Find Her Own Path

Being the daughter of two of Bollywood’s biggest stars isn’t easy, but Alia Bhatt is determined to let her daughter Raha grow into her own person. In a recent interview, Alia discussed her approach to motherhood, emphasizing her trust in instincts over calculated decisions.

Trusting Instincts Over Calculations

Alia Bhatt, who welcomed her daughter Raha with Ranbir Kapoor in November 2022, believes in nurturing and caring for her child while allowing her to find her own identity. “Children are born with their own personality. You just have to nurture and care for them and let them find their own feet,” Alia said in an interview with Hindustan Times. She added, “I don’t want Raha to ever be any version of herself that she doesn’t feel most comfortable with.”

A Blend of Meticulous and Spontaneous

Describing her parenting style, Alia mentioned that she strikes a balance between being meticulous and spontaneous. “When it comes to the legacy that I envisioned as an actor and a mother, I don’t think it has been calculated from my side. The choices I make as a mother are very instinctive to what I feel is best for my child. I am very meticulous, but I can also be very random. So I’m kind of a mix of both,” she explained.

Keeping Raha Away from the Spotlight

Alia and Ranbir kept Raha away from the public eye for almost a year, introducing her to the paparazzi only at the Kapoor family’s Christmas lunch in 2023. This careful approach highlights their desire to protect their daughter’s privacy and let her grow up without the intense scrutiny often faced by celebrity children.

Looking Ahead: Alia’s Upcoming Projects

On the professional front, Alia Bhatt is gearing up for exciting roles in Yash Raj Films’ next Spy Universe movie “Alpha,” as well as Vasan Bala’s “Jigra” and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Love And War.”

Alia Bhatt’s approach to motherhood reflects her belief in letting her daughter carve her own path, free from external pressures, while balancing her own professional commitments with thoughtful and instinctive parenting.
